Xue Nianbing chuckled softly. "It's nothing. I just called you up so you could go back to sleep."
Wang Dong: "..."
Aah!!!
How could there be such an annoying, boring, childish boy?
What sin had she, Wang Dong'er, committed in her past life to run into something like him? She had truly suffered eight lifetimes' worth of bad luck.
No, she had to endure it!
One day, she would find a chance to annoy Xue Nianbing too.
"Good night, then."
Seeing Wang Dong's expression twist with rage, Xue Nianbing stopped teasing her and turned to return to his blankets.
Once Wang Dong fell asleep, he began to feel sleepy as well.
Sleep. Get a good night's rest...
Time slowly passed, and midnight came and went.
In the pitch-black dormitory, a figure climbed out of bed. She tiptoed over to Xue Nianbing's bedside.
Seeing that Xue Nianbing had not reacted, she immediately reached out and gave him a shake.
Xue Nianbing was not sleeping deeply. He opened his eyes, turned his head, and asked, "What is it?"
"Oh, it's nothing. I just called you up so you could go back to sleep," Wang Dong said with a grin.
"...You really are vengeful." Xue Nianbing's lips twitched helplessly.
But when he remembered that he had been the one to tease her first, his helplessness faded, and he calmly accepted it.
"Hmph, that's what you get for making me mad."
Wang Dong snorted and smugly returned to her bed.
Teasing Xue Nianbing once made her feel inexplicably happy, so much so that she found it hard to fall asleep.
"Oh, right. I'm pretty vengeful too," Xue Nianbing suddenly said.
At those words, Wang Dong instantly became even more alert.
She felt that Xue Nianbing would definitely wait until she was asleep and then say, "Get up and go back to sleep."
So, being smart, she simply chose not to sleep, ensuring Xue Nianbing's plan for revenge would fail.
Wang Dong kept her eyes wide open, staring at Xue Nianbing in the opposite bed as if she would immediately mock him the moment he made a move.
Yet after waiting for a long time, Xue Nianbing remained completely still.
Wang Dong waited and waited, as though she had entered into a standoff with Xue Nianbing.
One hour, two hours, three hours...
Before long, dawn was about to break.
The next day, early morning.
"Phew, that felt good."
Xue Nianbing got up and stretched, allowing the cool early-morning breeze to blow in and brush against his face.
In an instant, he felt completely refreshed.
"Huh?"
Xue Nianbing looked in surprise at Wang Dong, who had faint dark circles beneath her eyes, and deliberately asked in confusion, "Wang Dong'er, what happened? You didn't sleep all night?"
"..."
Wang Dong was silent for a long while before asking, "Why didn't you wake me up last night and make me go back to sleep?"
Wasn't he supposed to be vengeful?
She had waited an entire night, only to find not his revenge, but disappointment.
Xue Nianbing, didn't your conscience hurt, making me wait all night?
"Oh, that? I accidentally fell asleep," Xue Nianbing said with an innocent expression.
Wang Dong: "..."
Her instincts told her that Xue Nianbing had definitely done it on purpose.
So she had fallen into Xue Nianbing's trap again.
Aah!!!
She had clearly just pulled one back last night, only for him to immediately pull one back too. He was so annoying.
Seeing Wang Dong's strange expression, Xue Nianbing secretly smiled.
He then got dressed, put on his shoes, and went to wash up.
Wang Dong quickly composed herself as well and headed off to wash up.
Although the two had only met yesterday and had already clashed several times, they had ultimately developed something of a "friendship."
They changed into white school uniforms adorned with a small green monster emblem.
"Want to eat? Together?" Xue Nianbing asked.
"Sure."
Wang Dong nodded and followed behind Xue Nianbing.
The two soon arrived at the cafeteria. Xue Nianbing walked in naturally, while Wang Dong stopped before a notice and fell into thought.
Xue Nianbing turned back, walked over, and looked at her in confusion.
Wang Dong pointed at the notice and asked, "Doesn't this say that food can't be taken out of the cafeteria? How did you take it out yesterday?"
"Oh, that? Just ignore it."
"Don't you have a Storage Ring too? Buy something later, put it inside, and eat while walking after you leave the cafeteria."
Xue Nianbing spoke carelessly.
In truth, plenty of people did the same thing. Many students with Storage Rings took food away with them.
"You can do that?"
Wang Dong asked blankly.
Xue Nianbing looked at Wang Dong in astonishment. "Didn't you say yesterday that your rules were rules? Are you not going to follow through on your own words?"
Wang Dong: "..."
She did seem to have said that.
But Shrek Academy was the number one academy on the continent. Shouldn't it be strict and dignified? Was it really all right to break the rules like this?
While Wang Dong hesitated, Xue Nianbing had already bought breakfast and returned.
"If you want to eat here, that's fine too," Xue Nianbing said casually.
"...Wait for me."
Wang Dong decisively bought breakfast and followed Xue Nianbing's example, taking it out of the cafeteria.
Not only did they take their breakfast out of the cafeteria, they ate as they walked down the path, drawing astonished looks from some students.
"Xue Nianbing, which class are you in?" Wang Dong asked.
"Class Nine."
Xue Nianbing replied.
He had taken a moment to check which class he was assigned to. He was in Year One, Class Nine, and their homeroom teacher was a woman named Mu Jin.
As long as he had not been assigned to that lunatic's class, Xue Nianbing considered it a good thing.
"Class Nine? What a coincidence, so am I."
Wang Dong smiled.
"...That is quite a coincidence."
Xue Nianbing nodded. Thinking about it carefully, though, it seemed normal enough.
"You two! Which class are you from? Don't you know food isn't allowed out of the cafeteria?!"
A stern shout suddenly came from behind them.
Xue Nianbing and Wang Dong turned around to see an elderly woman glaring at them.
The old woman wore a white robe and had a medium build. Her skin was wrinkled, her hair gray and gathered atop her head, and her black eyes gleamed sharply.
Such attire clearly marked her as an academy teacher.
Wang Dong instinctively hid her breakfast and ducked behind Xue Nianbing, her eyes darting about.
Xue Nianbing, however, had a faint suspicion. Looking at the old woman with a calm expression, he asked evenly, "Ma'am, who are you?"
"I am a teacher of Shrek Academy, Zhou Yi!"
Zhou Yi's tone was somewhat unfriendly.
To break the rules right under her nose—what audacity.
No matter which class they were from, they would be punished.
"Oh, so you're the renowned Teacher Zhou..."
Xue Nianbing smiled meaningfully, then abruptly changed the subject and asked lightly, "Teacher Zhou, do you know who we are?"
The moment he said that,
Zhou Yi froze, thinking Xue Nianbing was about to invoke some powerful background.
A powerful background?
Could any background be greater than Shrek Academy?
"Hmph!"
Zhou Yi snorted coldly and said sternly, "I don't care who you are. Daring to take food out of the cafeteria is knowingly breaking the rules. You'll each receive a major demerit."
"Hehe."
Xue Nianbing chuckled, then deliberately looked into the distance in surprise and shouted, "Huh? Why are they fighting over there?"
"What?!"
Zhou Yi's expression changed, and she immediately turned around.
Wang Dong looked over instinctively as well, but before she could see anything clearly, she felt someone grab her and drag her into a run.
